if you are home schooled yes.
Homeschooling is MUCH better than public school. you get SO much MORE out of it.

If you didn't put forth the effort this past year what makes you think you can in the next grade. The previous grade gives you the building blocks that you need to succeed with the next grade. Parents have no say with public/private schools. They can only recommend. It's ultimately the school district. Now with home schooling I'm not sure. You need to pay the consequences for your actions. I'm sorry but in the "real world" mommy and daddy can't keep you from getting fired from a job if you're not performing at the standards required for you.

Grade skipping and entering school early is not illegal. Schools may not let you do either one, but that is not because there are laws against grade skipping. Schools do not have to let your child skip a grade. Even if you're child is a little Einstein and you can prove it, you and your child are at the mercy of whatever school system you're in. That school system may be pro or con grade skipping. Most of the time parents approach the school system and request a grade skip. Schools very rarely (almost never) select a bright child to be skipped a grade. Testing is not always required to skip a grade although many times it will be requested. It is important to decide what you think about grade skipping and how it can benefit or hurt your child before entering the process.

It may depend on your state and whether any laws have changed since my kids were in school. When I went to school and when my now newly grown kids were in school if a child was not going to be promoted the parents could sign a form to have the school "transfer" the child to the next grade.

Depends on the situation. If you are failing, usually not but sometimes if they really push. Just be sure you are really ready to move on or you just set yourself up for continued failure. If you are ahead there are tests you can take, but again usually not, the tests are tough and most public schools are against it. If you are behind but not failing and it is a recommendation that you be held back, it is totally up to your parents, but again be sure you are ready to move on.
Good luck
